Remains of the calliope’s mania sang in Dana’s memory as she shuffled over dry, dusty dirt and trash. Colored paper soon to be faded by the daytime blaze littered the field, highlighting its vacancy. The sequined company had gone on beyond the horizon, so dazzled by their own splendor that no one noticed her slip away, in spite of her size – but then, she had never been a star, only a supporting player. She found a piece of glittering foil and stretched her delicate trunk to pick it up, examining the tatter of banner before tossing it away with distain.
